Inspections Passed

We had six inspections (or one inspection of six different areas) yesterday. We passed five with no problems but one got a partial, meaning the inspector wants something else finished before he will approve the entire thing. But he also signed off on another inspection we didn't call for because we didn't think we had it all done. We are just a bit unclear whether we have to call that one in or are really done with it. We will have the lath inspection on Friday and then insulation can begin next week.
You may have heard about all the rain in southern Arizona yesterday. One normally dry riverbed on the west side of town was running bank to bank and crested a foot over the banks,at 12 feet. The thunder and lightning started at 5 am and continued for hours along with the heavy rain. We crossed a lot of dips in the road that had flowing water but that was after the heaviest rain had let up so we were ok. Arizona had something called "The Stupid Motorist Law". If you drive around a barrier warning you of a flooded road and have to be rescued, you are liable for the cost of your rescue. These dips didn't have barriers but they are posted with permanent signs that say "Don't enter when flooded" so we had to think about whether it was really safe. All the roads leading from our new house back into town have multiple dips which are subject to flooding so I guess we will learn how to judge when to drive through and when to wait. The rain has certainly turned the desert green!!
